I like not giving up 25 point leads and thinking the game is over in the 3rd q.

Who'd we disrespeck? Seems like we're nice enough to give almost half our opponents a W, and the rest we make look like all-stars, what do they got to be mad about?

This is an excellent post. I am a Pittman fan, but he has had some major screw ups on roster management and in-game management with large leads.

That said, our players clearly play hard for him and didnt fold like a cheap chair when Kansas got back in it. Also, we were massively undermanned and it showed....our lack of depth killed our defense in the second half. Add to that the pathetic officiating and this turned what should have been nothing into something.

I hope Pittman has learned not to take his foot off the GDMF'ing gas.

Bert would've lost that game in typical Bert fashion.

In my defense, I was pissed as hell after the Liberty game when I wrote that post.

However, I stand by it. I like Pittman and am grateful for what he's done to pull our program out of the shitter, and I'm very cognizant of where we were just 4 years ago. That said, anyone who says they don't have legitimate concerns with our current trajectory is lying to themselves.

Someone on another board put it best -- "There is something missing or wrong that caused us to scratch out a comeback win against Missouri State, lose to A&M and Liberty, and turn a blowout bowl victory into a coin flip win. I’m not bullish on a financially-set-for-life 60 year old finding it or getting it right."

I like winning conference basketball games better.

Wasn't worth the Liberty Bowl Champs win.

Is this your first time watching football?

At both the pro and college level, most of the time when a team gets a big lead they go more conservative and the other team chips into the lead. And guess what? The team with the lead wins a great majority of the time.

This is an established winning strategy since before you were born.

Ah, so that is what you call last night.

I'm going to need you to write my resume/handle my year end review.

Up by 14
Under 3 minutes
We have the ball on Kansas’ 30
Kansas is out of timeouts

That “too conservative” approach put us in that position, you fricking moron.

and that strategy to win worked before I was born. But the game changes you old frick, since your belittling wasn’t lost on me. Shut the frick up and stop acting like you understand football in 2022, because you don’t. In this day and age a 21 point lead or less can be lost in just one quarter of football. I’ve seen it happen personally multiple times including last night (just because we won last night doesn’t mean we didn’t give up the lead.)

I don’t give a shite what you think but I know I’m right. I’ve been coaching football for 5 years (at the high school level but still) I’ve already won a state title, been state runner up, state semi finalist and 2 state quarter final runs outside of the state of Arkansas where better talent actually exists. I’ve been to multiple coaching clinics, and I’m telling you from a coaching standpoint sam did things last night that many other coaches would disagree with and frown upon.

LOL.

Blowing a 14 point lead with 3 minutes when we have the ball on their 30 is what you call "chipping away".

The fact that they had zero timeouts and we had 3 makes it even worse.

Enjoy your liberty bowl champs memorobilia I guess.

We should be paying 9mil a year for Kiffin who got his a-hole resized in his bowl game. Ending the year with a win just pisses me the frick off.

You McDumbass bitches deserve a team that goes 2 and 10 every year.
